Service and food is just terrible. They made my pick-up to go pizza wrong with wrong toppings, which I was also charged for yet not reimbursed after getting the order right.. I wait for the new one to be made and I’m assuming they rushed it out because the new pie was extremely soft and soggy, like you microwaved a frozen pie. Didn’t even taste good. My wife calls to simply get our $20 refunded for the poor quality food that we are not going to eat and whoever takes the to go orders starts acting completely unprofessional, assures us that the pizza was not how we were explaining it to be and tells us that she is sending someone to pick up the pizza from our home (in Punta Gorda) in order to issue us our refund. Extremely rude and unnecessary. Horrible experience with this place BEWARE

We finally found good pizza in Cape Coral. Pizza and Stromboli were very good. Sauce is decent. Place was busy but it was done right when they said it would be.

We finally tried this Italian restaurant. Pasta is my husband’s weakness so we find local Italian places because they are the best. Our server Ryan was great. My red lasagna was very good. My husband was very exited to try shrimp scampi and a side of meatballs plus a soup. Well, the soup tasted like hot water, the pasta was hot but the shrimp on top was very cold. And the meatball seemed like they just took them out of the fridge into a cold bowl and out to the table. He ended up eating half of my lasagna, which was very good and hot.

This is our go to pizza place in Cape Coral. I know pizza tastes are subjective. But this place has a sauce and dough recipe that is just delicious. I could actually order a crust only pizza and dip in olive oil, it tastes like really good yeasty bread. Thank you to Josh and the crew in the kitchen, perfect pizza!

We have lived here 2 years and decided to finally check this place out. Glad we did! We ordered calamari, Greek salad, pizza and garlic knots. All were delicious, the stand outs were the pizza and knots. The owner sang some songs with the other singer and the owner has a great voice! Was an enjoyable night, I wish they were packed all the time because it’s hard to keep a business open. We will be back. Our waiter, Ryan was very attentive and on top of all his tables needs. Give them a try.

We stopped in on Thursday night and there were only two other couples there. This restaurant really does feel the burden of air snowbird season. So if you are a local give them a try. I always ask for the eggplant parmesan made extra spicy and it is delicious. My husband and I love the pizza, the crust has a wonderful chew and flavor. My husband's go to is the Stromboli, but we've also had the shrimp Diablo and other dishes. This time we brought A friend along that knew the bartender. She asked for an espresso martini and oh my goodness they are amazing here. He made fresh espresso and let it cool to make the martini. Absolutely delicious.

To be honest I would have given this place 3 stars but the bar tender on Friday night was rude, inattentive, and full of excuses. She did nothing but complain to other employees the whole time and exaggerated about her stock of booze. When my order came up, she threw it up on yhe bar with no condiments, bag, or napkins. I ordered the "oyster hero," egg plant parm sandwich. Very little marinara, and the bread was thick. Fiest time - last time.

Wanted to leave a review my wife and I ordered pizza to go on Wednesday when it was a buy One get one. It was such a great deal. We got the margarita and a free cheese pizza. They were so busy that night the young lady behind the bar was so nice. The pizza guy came and delivered my pizza and introduced himself to me. Thank you Josh for making the perfect pizza the crust was just right. Our new favorite place in Cape Coral!!

I'm sure it was busy yesterday when I called, but was hung up on twice. Not a huge deal. But the pizza quality is way down. The pizza was so thin it was a joke and basically no sauce on either pie and one was chicken Alfredo. I will not be going back as they seem to be cheapening out on the quality. This place was good at one point. Sadly not any more.

Ordered a calzone to take out…more of a Stromboli than calzone but it was ok. Issue was they charged me $6 for an extra 2.5oz. cup of sauce! You heard right! The irony is that I also ordered a hero with light sauce…they should have charged me $6 less for the hero right? On principle alone I’ll never order from there again.

First time customer. Called in at 7 to place and order to be ready at 830. We ordered a Hawaiian, pepperoni and a cheese that was bogo for ordering a specialty pizza and some garlic knots. Found it odd you can’t pay more to add pepperoni to the free cheese but whatever so we ordered the pepperoni. Picked the food up right at 830, the guy at the bar was friendly and full of energy. The atmosphere was cool. The food however was awful, it was barely warm and overcooked. Wish it was good because the place is so close, maybe had it been ordered fresh and ate in, but come on. I’ve drove from fort Myers’s with a pizza from Tony’s and it was hotter than this was and they are 8 minutes away. Very very disappointed for New Year’s Eve. Hopefully others have better experiences.

We brought a group of six for dinner 4 of which were new customers with reservation at 4:00 pm only 3 tables were seated with customers so it was not too busy. Upon arrival (2 of us) we were seated once someone recognized we were standing there about 5/7 minutes the rest of our party arrived. We ordered drinks which were wrong ask for water half table received the other didn’t. We then reviewed menu and ordered meals and most of meals arrived after a long wait. The 2 personnel pizzas did not. Other customers were seated ate and left and we were still waiting. The waitress keep telling us a few more minutes after 1 hour and 30 minutes everyone was finished eating except the 2 pizza customers we finally got pizzas one was okay the other was completely wrong and was sent back. Finally tired of waiting I cancelled pizza. Just a very bad situation as waitress stated there was no manager to talk to which I can’t believe just wanted to talk to someone who could possibly give us a reason for what happened and why the service was this BAD. Just trying to have a nice dinner with friends and evening was ruined with no explanation. We live locally and try to support local businesses but after being treated this BAD we wont be returning.

We used to absolutely love their pizza. We especially loved the veggie Supreme. Well they changed the veggies on it and half the veggies listed on the menu weren't on it. They also cheaped out on the cheese. We were very disappointed. Guess we won't be going here again. So many restaurants are sacrificing quality to cut corners. What they are really accomplishing is losing customers.

Family members love this restaurant so I've gone a few times. The food tastes great and the waitstaff are wonderful. The problem is everytime that I have eaten here, I have been very sick immediately afterwards and I was warmed by other family members afterwards. Despite this I still tried to give the restaurant a chance. Entertainment is odd as well. The owner stands at the back and sings behind a table. He has a good voice but it's a strange way to entertain customers.

Ordered pizza, and Doordash took an hour and a half to deliver. After an hour of waiting, I called the restaurant, and they said delivery couldn't find the address. They were across the street at the neighbors' house. The person on the phone said they would make us a fresh pizza and send it out. Less than 20 minutes later, I got the pizza, and it wasn't fresh it was tough and not even warm. The texture was like it had been in refrigerator overnight. Really feel like it was the original aged pizza. Cardboard tough.

I rated this higher because of every aspect except for the quality of the food. We had pizza I don't know what kind of crust it was my husband thinks it was kind of a biscuit crust I don't know. I think it was a premade crust but I don't know what it was made out of it wasn't a regular pizza crust. The toppings were good, sausage and mushroom, the cheese was good. We'll go back there but not for pizza.

Thought we’d try a new place in the Cape and was in the mood for pizza so we decided to give this place a try. Waitress was super nice but our hour and a half wait for 1 supreme pizza was not so nice. There was only a handful of people in the whole place so it couldn’t have been from being too busy and they had about 4 servers. We had been in the outside dining area but moved inside as the pesky mosquitoes were attacking us. A few minutes after sitting down we heard commotion in the kitchen about burnt pizzas, employee being on his phone and then they fired him as we heard profanity coming from the kitchen. Finally we received our food and thank goodness it was good but not worth the wait time and experience. Unfortunately we won’t be going back. (Traducido por Google) Pensamos en probar un nuevo lugar en el Cabo y teníamos ganas de pizza, así que decidimos probar este lugar. La camarera fue muy amable, pero nuestra hora y media de espera para 1 pizza suprema no fue tan agradable. Solo había un puñado de personas en todo el lugar, por lo que no podría haber sido por estar demasiado ocupado y tenían alrededor de 4 servidores. Habíamos estado en el comedor exterior, pero nos mudamos adentro cuando los molestos mosquitos nos atacaron. Unos minutos después de sentarnos, escuchamos una conmoción en la cocina sobre pizzas quemadas, el empleado estaba hablando por teléfono y luego lo despidieron cuando escuchamos blasfemias provenientes de la cocina. Finalmente recibimos nuestra comida y gracias a Dios fue buena pero no valió la pena el tiempo de espera y la experiencia. Desafortunadamente no volveremos.

We stopped in on a whim because we were in the area and love Italian food. It took a while to be seated, but it seemed like there was only one server and the bartender. As someone who has worked in the service industry, I could tell that they were short staffed and we were understanding of the situation. We stayed and we are so glad we did. Everything came out in a timely manner and was absolutely delicious! We noticed some very impatient guests around us, but we noticed the server doing his best. He was serving about 6 tables on his own before we got there and someone came out from the back to help him and I applaud him for that. Thank you so much and we will definitely be back.

Nos alojamos y estamos muy contentos de haberlo hecho. ¡Todo salió en el momento oportuno y fue absolutamente delicioso!

When first walking in and seeing all the empty seats at 6:30 on a Saturday night I thought this was a mistake. To my surprise it was excellent! We think we found a true hidden gem. Really and I mean really good pizza which was all we really wanted. But, I had a couple of glasses of wine and really yummy fried raviolis! Classic back round music by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin & Louis Armstrong. Then out of the kitchen the owner comes and belts out some fabulous classics. They could make some changes to really up their game like, oil for their delicious home made bread. I know it's not down town so you have reservations but I can honestly tell you "multi bene"! Try this place you will love it. We also love Chicago Pizza, & Paradise Pizza down town but this beats them both. And, No I am not the owner, a friend, or relative just a new loyal customer.

Pero, ¡tomé un par de copas de vino y ravioles fritos realmente deliciosos! Música clásica de fondo de Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin y Louis Armstrong. Luego, el dueño sale de la cocina y canta algunos clásicos fabulosos. Podrían hacer algunos cambios para mejorar su juego, como aceite para su delicioso pan casero. Sé que no está en el centro de la ciudad, así que tienes reservas, ¡pero honestamente puedo decirte "multibene"! Prueba este lugar te encantará. También nos encanta Chicago Pizza y Paradise Pizza en el centro de la ciudad, pero esto los supera a ambos. Y, no, no soy el propietario, un amigo o pariente, solo un nuevo cliente leal.

My husband and I went here for dinner earlier this week and we were not too impressed. It took 10 minutes standing in the cramped waiting area before someone called for another gal in the back to come up and help. We were seated at a table and staff kept walking by. About 10 minutes in, one gal, who ended up being our waitress, asked if anyone grabbed our drink order; we said no and gave her our order. We ended up waiting about 8 more minutes before our beverages came. I looked at my husband that maybe we should leave; there were four staff members and four tables, including us. We ended up ordering garlic bread, a pizza, and some garlic pasta. It was a 2-hour experience. The garlic bread was over cooked on the bottom, there wasn’t much cheese or flavor to the pizza sauce, and my husband said his pasta was underwhelming. I’m giving this place at least 2 stars because the bread was so good, it redeemed staying the last hour and a half of our meal. (Traducido por Google) Mi esposo y yo fuimos a cenar aquí a principios de esta semana y no nos impresionó demasiado. Pasaron 10 minutos de pie en la estrecha sala de espera antes de que alguien llamara a otra chica en la parte de atrás para que subiera y ayudara. Nos sentamos en una mesa y el personal siguió caminando. Aproximadamente 10 minutos después, una chica, que terminó siendo nuestra camarera, preguntó si alguien tomó nuestra orden de bebidas; dijimos que no y le dimos nuestro pedido. Terminamos esperando unos 8 minutos más antes de que llegaran nuestras bebidas. Miré a mi esposo que tal vez deberíamos irnos; había cuatro miembros del personal y cuatro mesas, incluyéndonos a nosotros. Terminamos pidiendo pan de ajo, una pizza y un poco de pasta con ajo. Fue una experiencia de 2 horas. El pan de ajo estaba demasiado cocinado en el fondo, no había mucho queso ni sabor en la salsa de pizza, y mi esposo dijo que su pasta era decepcionante. Le doy a este lugar al menos 2 estrellas porque el pan era tan bueno que redimió quedarse la última hora y media de nuestra comida.

After 15 minutes, another couple comes in, seated and asked if they wanted anything to drink, the other couple stated to the server “I think they were here before us” at that point I said to my husband let’s go. I hope their food is better then their services . We weren’t even offered water. Would rate 0 stars if possible. (Traducido por Google) Mi esposo y yo estábamos sentados en una cabina. Se puso en contacto con los servidores, sabían que estábamos allí. Después de 15 minutos, otra pareja entró, se sentó y preguntó si querían algo de beber, la otra pareja le dijo al servidor "Creo que estuvieron aquí antes que nosotros", en ese momento le dije a mi esposo que nos fuéramos. Espero que su comida sea mejor que sus servicios. Ni siquiera nos ofrecieron agua. Calificaría 0 estrellas si es posible.

My wife and me decided to try something new around Cape Coral and give a try at Buon Appetito Sunday evening. Wait time was around 5 min, servers were busy with some tables. We ordered Chicken Marsala over pasta and Bolognese pasta. Food was good, good size for the a little higher price for a regular pasta with sauce. Service was very good, checking on us if we need something and refilling our drinks. In general a good experience for a first time visit. I love the restaurant decoration and mafia theme around. A lot of pictures from old time singers and actors, Sinatra, capones, Marylyn Monroe, etc. I would give them a next visit to try the pizzas and desserts. (Traducido por Google) Mi esposa y yo decidimos probar algo nuevo en Cape Coral y probar en Buon Appetito el domingo por la noche. El tiempo de espera fue de alrededor de 5 minutos, los servidores estaban ocupados con algunas mesas. Pedimos Chicken Marsala sobre pasta y pasta boloñesa. La comida era buena, de buen tamaño por el precio un poco más alto de una pasta regular con salsa. El servicio fue muy bueno, controlándonos si necesitamos algo y rellenando nuestras bebidas. En general, una buena experiencia para una primera visita. Me encanta la decoración del restaurante y el tema de la mafia. Muchas fotos de cantantes y actores de antaño, Sinatra, capones, Marylyn Monroe, etc. Les daría una próxima visita para probar las pizzas y los postres.

Have ordered out a couple of times from this restaurant with very bad service. Always an issue with the order but more disturbing is the rudeness towards the customer. I guess they have so much business they don’t need more. In summary there is enough difficulties we are dealing with to be treated in the manner they chose. (Traducido por Google) He pedido un par de veces de este restaurante con muy mal servicio. Siempre un problema con el pedido, pero lo más preocupante es la mala educación hacia el cliente. Supongo que tienen tanto negocio que no necesitan más. En resumen, hay suficientes dificultades con las que nos enfrentamos para ser tratadas de la manera que ellos eligieron.

This is a difficult review for me to write, because my husband and I have had good experiences at this restaurant. I even wrote a positive review earlier this year. However, our experience tonight with our daughters and mother was very disappointing.  Although we had a reservation, we waited for 40 minutes after seating before anyone offered us anything, including water. We had to ask  the busers and other waitresses to bring us the bare necessities. Our waiter (who is apparently their most experienced waiter … of 1 year) complained about his other customers to us. One of the other waitresses asked if we would speak with the owner about our unpleasant experience, which I did. That is the reason I am writing this review. Otherwise, I would have just dismissed this as one bad experience. Instead of really listening and/or attempting to make things right, she offered half-hearted excuses. For instance, when we told her that it took 40 minutes for us to be offered even water, her response was “we don’t typically offer our customers water.” In addition, after a lengthy discussion, I concluded by saying there is room for improvement, and her response was “that’s not going to happen.“ There are plenty of restaurants in the Cape and Fort Myers that offer excellent food and excellent service. I am more than willing to overlook one bad experience, but the owner’s shockingly dismissive response to our comments was the tipping point for me. We are highly unlikely to return. — at Buon Appetito Restaurant & Bar. (Traducido por Google) Esta es una crítica difícil de escribir para mí, porque mi esposo y yo hemos tenido buenas experiencias en este restaurante. Incluso escribí una crítica positiva a principios de este año. Sin embargo, nuestra experiencia esta noche con nuestras hijas y nuestra madre fue muy decepcionante.  Aunque teníamos una reserva, esperamos 40 minutos después de sentarnos antes de que alguien nos ofreciera algo, incluida el agua. Tuvimos que pedir a  los busers y otras camareras que nos trajeran las necesidades básicas. Nuestro mesero (que aparentemente es el mesero más experimentado... de 1 año) se quejó de sus otros clientes con nosotros. Una de las otras camareras preguntó si podíamos hablar con el propietario sobre nuestra experiencia desagradable, lo cual hice. Esa es la razón por la que escribo esta reseña. De lo contrario, habría descartado esto como una mala experiencia. En lugar de escuchar realmente y/o intentar hacer las cosas bien, ofreció excusas poco entusiastas. Por ejemplo, cuando le dijimos que nos tomó 40 minutos para que nos ofrecieran agua, su respuesta fue "normalmente no ofrecemos agua a nuestros clientes". Además, después de una larga discusión, concluí diciendo que hay espacio para mejorar, y su respuesta fue "eso no va a suceder". Hay muchos restaurantes en Cape y Fort Myers que ofrecen excelente comida y excelente servicio. Estoy más que dispuesto a pasar por alto una mala experiencia, pero la respuesta sorprendentemente desdeñosa del propietario a nuestros comentarios fue el punto de inflexión para mí. Es muy poco probable que regresemos. — en el restaurante y bar Buon Appetito.

Horrible experience Don’t even want to talk about it and even the owner said she is not changing or fixing anything ever She made it worse than it ever could’ve been The service was stupid The food had no flavor And the owner has no respect total rudeness I wouldn’t even of complained about the food if it wouldn’t have been for the service and the owner And stop erasing my review I will keep putting it back up there as many times as you think you can erase it (Traducido por Google) Horrible experiencia Ni siquiera quiero hablar de eso e incluso el propietario dijo que nunca cambiará ni arreglará nada. Ella lo hizo peor de lo que podría haber sido El servicio fue una estupidez. La comida no tenia sabor Y el dueño no tiene respeto total mala educación Ni siquiera me habría quejado de la comida si no hubiera sido por el servicio y el propietario. Y deja de borrar mi reseña, la seguiré volviendo a subir tantas veces como creas que puedes borrarla.

Normally this is pretty good. But this last time, not so. My all meat pizza had gristle or bones in every bite. And my wife's Stromboli was so dry we would swear there was no sauce on it. Let me be clear this is the first time it was bad. So it will get two stars (Traducido por Google) Normalmente esto es bastante bueno. Pero esta última vez, no es así. Mi pizza de carne tenía cartílago o huesos en cada bocado. Y el Stromboli de mi esposa estaba tan seco que juraríamos que no tenía salsa. Permítanme ser claro esta es la primera vez que fue malo. Entonces obtendrá dos estrellas.

Raw bread and RUDE WOMAN. We've eaten inside this restaurant and the food is usually pretty good..but EVERY time we've ordered takeout..not so good. Tonight's sandwiches were awful, not able to eat. The bread was raw, and the eggplant and cheese dry and burnt. To make things worse, when I brought back our entire meal...the woman at the counter, was BEYOND RUDE...and that's not the first-time, she has always been rude, never smiles or says thank you. An apology would have gone a long way.... pretty sure she's the owners wife. Plenty other choice to eat in Cape Coral. I've given them a few chances ...but this was the last time I'll order from them. (Traducido por Google) Pan crudo y MUJER GROSERA. Hemos comido dentro de este restaurante y la comida suele ser bastante buena... pero CADA vez que hemos pedido comida para llevar... no tan buena. Los bocadillos de esta noche estaban horribles, no podía comer. El pan estaba crudo y la berenjena y el queso secos y quemados. Para empeorar las cosas, cuando traje toda nuestra comida... la mujer en el mostrador, fue MÁS QUE GROSERA... y esa no es la primera vez, siempre ha sido grosera, nunca sonríe ni dice gracias. Una disculpa hubiera sido de gran ayuda... estoy bastante seguro de que es la esposa del dueño. Muchas otras opciones para comer en Cape Coral. Les he dado algunas oportunidades... pero esta fue la última vez que les ordené.
